Oh, joy. I always felt Pluto got the short end of the stick, but now all is well.

Today is a historic day—one that will bring joy to the hundreds of millions of Pluto lovers around the globe. The International Astronomical Union (IAU), the body that is responsible for naming and classifying objects in the cosmos, has just announced that Pluto has been reclassified as a major planet.

That’s right, the little dwarf will be rejoining the ranks of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Planet-X (the planet that will surely spell doom for all humanity).

Oh, pshaw, fellow Pluto afficionados. Further investigation indicates this story is an iteration of an earlier April Fool's joke.

*Sigh*

Pluto lovers, keep the faith. We shall overcome.
